U.S. Escalates Korean War Preparations

KCNA

    Pyongyang, January 20 (KCNA) -- The U.S. imperialists are persistently seeking another Korean war. They, who already based Striker armored cars and Shadow 200 unmanned tactical reconnaissance aircraft in south Korea, have brought there more sophisticated weapons tested through a real war.
    They also plan to deploy high-tech weapons including GBU-28 laser guided bombs capable of striking underground targets and Smart bombs in south Korea for the emergency on the Korean peninsula.
    Their espionage activities, military manoeuvres and arms buildup are steadily keeping the peninsula in the danger of war. The United States, with operation plans to stifle the Democratic People's Republic of Korea by force of arms and colonize the whole of Korea, has committed various kinds of military provocations including the armed spy ship Pueblo incident, large reconnaissance plane EC-121 incident and the Panmunjom incident.
    Over the past decade it has committed more than 2,000 grave military provocations, massed huge armed forces of three services on and around the peninsula and frantically staged military exercises.
    In 1994, it brought new-type Patriot missiles to south Korea from the mainland for the restart of the Team Spirit joint military manoeuvres, and infiltrated OH-58A/C surveillance and spy helicopter belonging to the U.S. army deep into the airspace of the DPRK.
    In the late 1990s it staged 99 Ulji Focus Lens joint military exercises in a war atmosphere, even making public Operation Plan 5027, a war scenario for another Korean war. It also additionally deployed AC-130 ground attack aircraft and FA-18 fighter-bombers in south Korea, rendering the situation of the peninsula extremely acute.
    Last year it perpetrated several grave provocations in the West Sea of Korea and committed hundreds of aerial espionage missions with the mobilization of strategic and tactical reconnaissance planes.
    The U.S. ceaseless war moves bringing the inter-Korean relations back to those of tension and confrontation are a vicious challenge to the desire of all the Korean people and peace-loving people across the world.
